Hi @pablo ,

Can you pls share opensearch documentation page for `saved_objects` api. I couldn’t find it in opensearch documentation.

Ref link: [Confusing opensearch dashboard import API · Issue #1723 · opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards · GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/1723)

I want to import saved object (ndjson) file in all tenants, (private tenant + global) tentant in single API request for single `"user" role`.

Currently using below api to import saved object is getting import for single tenant only.

```auto
curl -XPOST -u <>:<> --insecure "https://< 
 >:<>/api/saved_objects/_import" -H "osd-xsrf: true" --form file=@"a.ndjson"

```

Pls let me know if any other way than saved objects api to see `index-patterns, visualizations` can be seen using using `global` index pattern for all tenants.
